| Title |
Some current ideas about the evolution of the human life history |
| Date |
1999 |
| Description |
Human life history is characterised by a long juvenile period (weaning to reproductive maturity), and a long post-reproductive lifespan in females. How do we explain the differences between our nearest relatives, the great apes, and ourselves? This chapter summarises some recent attempts to use life history models on data from contemporary hunter-gatherers, and other noncontracepting populations with little access to modern medicine. |
